North Dallas is likely to see more car accidents on LBJ Freeway, as a 5-year reconstruction project has just begun to expand the already-burdened highway. The project costs $2.7 billion and is one of the biggest in Dallas history.
Every day, LBJ carries 100,000 more drivers than it was designed to manage. And each day, 270,000 cars travel the LBJ segment between U.S. 75 and 35-E. This means more congestion, more waits, and most likely, more auto accidents.
With car crashes likely, Drivers may end up scrambling to find a Dallas attorney. Grapevine is already undergoing a construction project that is only about half the size of the LBJ reconstruction project. And even there, Mayor William Tate reports that car accidents have doubled in the last year.
North Dallas drivers should heed the advice of the LBJ project builders: know before you go. It’s a good idea to stay informed about the changes that will hit LBJ over the next 5 years to avoid an accident.
